"Arena is a
graphical web browser consisting entirely of free software. Its origins
predate proprietary packages such as Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet
Explorer and Mosaic. It is the source of a number of innovations which
have since been copied by other web browsers, such as HTML tables and style
sheets.

Arena has been created at the World
Wide Web Consortium as a test bed browser for HTML3.0 and CSS1. Although
it has not full implementation of CSS1 and HTML3.2, Arena continues to
be a very useful tool for experimenting with and promoting style sheets.
Now Yggdrasil Computing and the free software community are turning Arena
into a full-featured free alternative to proprietary browsers."

CITEC DocZilla
is a super-browser. It displays SGML, XML, HTML and much more. The architecture
is based on open vendor independent standards assembled into a collection
of modular components called MultiDoc Engine (MDE). MDE will extend the
function of standard web technology into XML, SGML, and HyTime applications

"The Mozilla browser will be used as
the basis for our new super-browser. The starting point is excellent: the
Mozilla browser will be the fastest Web browser ever, giving 100% support
for a lot of cool things like HTML, Document Object Model and Cascading
Style Sheets. As our current browser Multidoc Pro is also really, really
fast, you can bet that DocZilla will be a real killer!"

The FreeType
engine is a free, open source and portable (Microsoft) TrueType font rendering
engine. It has been developed to provide TT support to a great variety
of platforms (other than Microsoft’s) and environments.

FreeType is a library. It is not a
font server for your favorite platform, even though it was designed to
be used in many of them. Its purpose is simply to open and manage font
files, as well as load, hint and render individual glyphs efficiently.
You can also see it as a "TrueType driver" for a higher-level library,
though rendering text with it is easy, as demonstrated by the test programs.

Nonprofit corporation
dedicated to developing and maintaining production quality Open Source
reference implementations of core Internet protocols. ISC efforts are supported
by the donations of generous sponsors, and by revenue from support contracts
and other client services.

BIND (Berkeley
Internet Name Domain) is an open source implementation of the Domain Name
System (DNS) protocols and provides an openly redistributable reference
implementation of the major components of the Domain Name System, including:
Domain Name System server (named) ; Domain Name System resolver library
tools for verifying the proper operation of the DNS server

The BIND DNS Server is used on the
vast majority of name serving machines on the Internet, providing a robust
and stable architecture on top of which an organization's naming architecture
can be built. The resolver library included in the BIND distribution provides
the standard APIs for translation between domain names and Internet addresses
and is intended to be linked with applications requiring name service.

DHCP is an
open source suite that allows client computers to obtain reusable IP addresses
from the network. Provides a freely redistributable reference implementation
of all aspects of the DHCP protocol, through a suite of DHCP tools: DHCP
server; DHCP client; DHCP relay agent .

These tools all use a modular API which
is designed to be sufficiently general that it can easily be made to work
on POSIX-compliant operating systems and also non-POSIX systems like Windows
NT and MacOS. Server, client and relay agent are provided both as reference
implementations of the protocol and as working, fully-featured sample implementations.
Both the client and the server provide functionality that, while not strictly
required by the protocol, is very useful in practice. The DHCP server also
makes allowances for non-compliant clients which one might still like to
support.

JitterBug is
a web based bug tracking system. Originally developed by the Samba Team
to handle bug tracking, problem reports and queries from Samba users. Now
available under the GNU General Public License in the hope that it will

JitterBug operates by receiving bug
reports via email or a web form. Authenticated users can then reply to
the message, move it between different categories or add notes to it. In
some ways JitterBug is like a communal web based email system.

TeX is an open
source typesetting program designed for high-quality composition of material
that contains a lot of mathematical and technical expressions. It has been
adopted by many authors and publishers who generate technical books and
papers. It was created by Professor Donald Knuth (www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/index.html)
of Stanford University, originally for preparation of his book series "The
Art of Computer Programming".

The TeX program itself is a macro compiler.
The most popular such macro set is LaTeX. This tool provides several predefined
documentclasses (book, journal, report) with extensive sectioning and cross-referencing
capabilities, and auxiliary tools for such processes as bibliography and
index creation. Originally created by Leslie Lamport, LaTeX is now maintained
by a small group of volunteers headed by Frank Mittelbach and Chris Rowley

1998-7: "The
GNU Cobol2C project will be implemented in three phases. Phase One is a
proof-of-concept implementation of a Cobol to C translator, implemented
using the Purdue Compiler-Compiler Tool Set (PCCTS), with only a partial
Cobol grammar. This phase was completed in December, 1997. Copies of the
Phase One source files, man pages, and more information are available.
Phase Two is a re-implementation of the Cobol to C translator using the
Sable Research Group's Compiler Compiler (SableCC), with a complete ANSI
85 Cobol grammar defined. The translator will implement runtime libraries
for numerical functions, columnar I/O, indexed file I/O, and screen formatting,
and a cross-reference tool for debugging. Phase Two is currently underway.
Phase Three is a complete Cobol compiler, implemented as a standard front-end
to the GNU C Compiler backend. The compiler will implement a complete ANSI
85 Cobol grammar with complete functionality via runtime libraries. "

"The UNIX versus NT Organization is
dedicated to setting the facts straight about the various commercial and
Open Source UNIX operating systems as they relate to Microsoft Windows
NT. The organization is neither a legal entity, nor does it engage in profit
generating activities. Although the large commercial vendors of UNIX hardware
and software like Digital, IBM, Hewlett Packard, Silicon Graphics, Sun
Microsystems, etc. may benefit from our activities, we do not solicit their
financial support, nor have they ever offered any support."

"Some Microsoft/NT enthusiasts may
view this organization as an anti-Microsoft movement. This would be a poor
description of what we are about. The Kirch Paper, currently the organization's
core article, does deliver some serious blows to NT specifically, but it
is ultimately Microsoft's responsibility for any flaws or defects in the
design of their own operating system, not the author's. Certainly a company
the size of Microsoft with its financial assets should be capable of competing
with software written by volunteers, yet it is obviously having difficulties
in this area. "
